Shortlist · Cofounder alternatives

Cofounder alternatives: six picks, sorted by whether you have a product yet.

Cofounder costs $120 a month with no free plan, and its docs leave the product to you. Tools that build it differ most in their cut: on $2,000 a month in sales, NanoCorp keeps $4,800 a year and DoAny Free takes 0% (Stripe’s fees apply).

At $2,000 a month in sales, DoAny Free costs $0 over 12 months, the lowest of the seven. Cofounder Pro costs $1,440, before whatever builds your product.

  • Rank 1: DoAny FreeLowest$0$0 a month + 0% of sales; Stripe’s fees apply
  • Rank 6: Cofounder Pro$1,440$120 a month, plus your product builder
  • Rank 5: Polsia Standard$960$20 a month + 3% of sales
  • Rank 2: Atoms Pro$240$20 a month + 0% of sales
  • Rank 2: Runable Pro$240$20 a month; fee on sales not published
  • Rank 4: Lovable Pro$300$25 a month + 0% of sales
  • Rank 7: NanoCorp Founder$5,160$30 a month + 20% of withdrawals

Stripe’s card fees apply on every option that takes payments through Stripe.

  • Cofounder’s docs say it isn’t your core product builder, so its column is the $120 plan alone; add what builds your product, such as Lovable Pro at $25 a month. Cofounder lists no fee on your sales and doesn’t publish how much usage its plan includes.
  • Totals use monthly billing, and “Lowest” is on that basis. Billed yearly and paid up front, Atoms Pro is $15.80 a month, Lovable Pro $250 a year, and Polsia Standard $192 and Runable Pro $180 for the first year. Cofounder lists monthly billing only. DoAny bills monthly only.
  • Runable doesn’t publish whether it takes a fee on your sales, so its column is the plan alone. Website and app building start on Runable Pro.
  • Atoms is priced on Pro, which adds a custom domain and Atoms Cloud. A live Atoms app also draws on a separate Cloud & AI balance with no published rate card, which isn’t included.
  • Lovable’s built-in payments need Pro; on Free you can connect your own Stripe account instead. Lovable adds no platform fee.
  • Card processing fees are left out. On DoAny, Cofounder, Polsia, Atoms and Runable they are Stripe’s own fees, paid by you.
  • NanoCorp takes its 20% when you withdraw, so this assumes you withdraw everything you sell. Its docs don’t say whether card fees come out before your balance is credited. If its 20% already covers them, its gap to the others is smaller by the card fees.
  • Plan prices only: extra credits, top-ups, usage beyond a plan and ad spend aren’t included, and credits aren’t comparable across platforms. DoAny Free’s $0 holds as long as 5 credits a day, up to 30 a month, covers your work; Pro, from $25 a month, adds 100 monthly credits.

  5. Atoms Pro: $20 × 12 + 0% × $24,000 = $240.
  6. Runable Pro: $20 × 12 = $240; its fee on sales isn’t published.
  7. Lovable Pro: $25 × 12 + 0% × $24,000 = $300.
  8. NanoCorp Founder: $30 × 12 + 20% × $24,000 = $5,160, if you withdraw everything you sell.

The reasons

Why founders look beyond Cofounder

Cofounder gives a founder agents for sales, marketing, design and operations in one workspace. These six limits come from its own pricing page, docs and terms.

$120/mo

The entry price for Cofounder Pro, per its pricing page. There is no free plan, only a 7-day free trial that lists a design system builder, landing page hosting, and strategy and analysis.

Not the product

“Cofounder is not your core product builder,” say its Cofounder docs home. The app, its database, login and hosting stay with your own coding agent or engineers (What Cofounder does).

1 plan per company

“Each organization requires its own subscription,” per the onboarding docs, with no price given for the second one. At Pro’s list price, three ideas would cost $4,320 a year.

Usage unknown

The pricing page doesn’t say how much usage $120 includes, and Cofounder’s terms bill usage-based charges in arrears at rates it doesn’t publish.

$20 to $120

The listed starting price was $20 a month with usage included on July 8, 2026 and $120 by September 2. The two plans may not include the same usage.

Risk on you

The terms put the consequences of agent actions on you “whether or not you have reviewed or approved such actions,” while the homepage says “nothing ships without your approval” and the deploy docs show an Approve step before staging.

Cofounder’s pages also disagree with each other. The students page still offers Pro at $20 a month with usage included, and the product that launched in May as “idea to live product” is now scoped to the company around your product. Cofounder 1 went into a planned sunset on April 29, 2026, with access kept for exports. Check the date on any Cofounder price a review quotes, ours included.

Among the tools that build the product, the fee is what separates them as sales grow: at $2,000 a month, Polsia’s 3% costs $720 a year and NanoCorp’s 20% costs $4,800. Card processing is separate; on DoAny, Polsia, Atoms and Runable it is Stripe’s own (2.9% + 30¢ per US card charge).

The shortlist

The six Cofounder alternatives in detail

  1. Our product

    DoAny: best when you need the product built, hosted and selling

    Best for: founders with no product yet. Cofounder’s docs leave the product to your own coding agent or engineers; DoAny builds and hosts it, with accounts, a database and Stripe checkout built in, no API keys to paste. Annie researches your idea and market first, then handles daily growth work after launch.

    Price: Free is $0 with no card: 5 credits a day, up to 30 a month, shared by every company you start, unlike Cofounder’s one subscription per company. Pro starts at $25/mo for 100 monthly credits and adds a domain you own. DoAny takes 0% of your sales; Stripe’s processing fees still apply (DoAny pricing; DoAny Terms).

    Watch out for: one agent directed by chat, with no drag-and-drop editor and no connector marketplace; Annie reaches other services with a backend function and your API key. No cold-email inboxes, domain purchase or LLC filing. No native iOS or Android apps. The checkout on the sites DoAny builds is Stripe only, with no coupons at the moment.

    Moving from Cofounder: DoAny imports existing code and database records, so hand it the repositories and Supabase data you get out instead of starting over. The step-by-step order is in DoAny vs Cofounder.

  2. Runs the company, ads included

    Polsia: best for an agent that builds and runs the business

    Polsia is the closest match to Cofounder’s original promise: an agent that builds the product and runs the company, including outreach and, from Pro, Meta ads.

    Watch out for: Polsia “takes a flat 3% platform fee on every charge” on top of Stripe’s fees, and it is rolling out a 31-day settlement period before payouts, per its payouts help. Standard covers one company.

    Price: Standard $20/mo (20 credits, 1 company, no Meta ads), Pro $50/mo (50 credits, up to 3 companies, Meta ads), Max $100 or $200/mo (up to 10 companies).

  3. A team of agents

    Atoms: best for research, build and search marketing in one place

    Atoms sells a named team of AI agents that researches an idea, builds and hosts a web app, then markets it with SEO pages and Google Search ads (working with agents). Payments go to your own Stripe account, and its e-commerce page says you “keep full revenue minus standard Stripe processing.”

    Watch out for: hosting, the database and AI features in a live app draw on a separate Cloud & AI balance, in dollars, with no published rate card (wallet help). Build credits can’t be topped up; you move up a plan instead.

    Price: Free $0 (15 credits a day, up to 25 a month); Pro $20/mo for 100 credits, or $15.80/mo billed yearly, with a custom domain and Atoms Cloud; Max from $100/mo.

  4. Web and phone apps

    Runable: best for one general agent that also builds iOS and Android apps

    Runable is a general AI agent. On Pro it builds websites and web apps with a database, analytics and Stripe, plus native iOS and Android apps, and it makes slides, images, video and research documents. Its Grow features add paid ads, social posting and cold outreach.

    Watch out for: the Free plan doesn’t include website or app building. Runable doesn’t publish whether it takes a fee on your sales, and its top-up prices aren’t published.

    Price: Free $0 (1,500 credits a day); Pro $20/mo for 25,000 credits a month plus daily credits, or $180 for the first year billed yearly; Max $100/mo.

  5. Just the product

    Lovable: best for building the product Cofounder no longer builds

    Lovable builds and hosts web apps from chat. It is the natural pair for Cofounder, whose docs send the product to “your preferred coding agent, IDE, or engineering team,” or a way to own the build yourself and skip the $120.

    Watch out for: it builds the product, not the company around it. Its payments docs say “built-in payments require a paid Lovable plan”; on Free you can connect your own Stripe account instead. It adds no platform fee.

    Price: Free $0; Pro $25/mo for 100 monthly credits, with custom domains.

  6. Hands-off, with a cut

    NanoCorp: best for autonomous agents across several businesses

    NanoCorp’s agents build and sell for you, and the Founder plan covers several businesses with custom domains.

    Watch out for: a “20% fee on withdrawals” of your sales. The 3-day trial pauses checkout, email and agents when it ends.

    Price: a 3-day trial at $0 with no card; Founder $30/mo for 30 credits.

A valid choice

When staying with Cofounder is the right call

You already build the product

Cofounder is “built for people who can build their core product elsewhere,” especially B2B founders with their own codebase (Cofounder docs: what Cofounder does). It reads your repository and issues and hands product work to your coding agents as a brief.

You need many connected tools

Its integrations page names about fifty services, from Slack, Gmail and Notion to Attio, PostHog and Ramp, plus custom MCP servers with access set per agent.

Cold email is your main channel

Agent inboxes sit on your own domain, and warmup has a “21 day minimum,” 28 days recommended, before outreach starts (inbox docs).

You want the domain and the LLC in one place

Cofounder buys and manages domains in the app (domains docs) and runs a guided US LLC filing with Ramp, which “can involve filing costs” (roadmap docs).

Leaving cleanly

Common questions

Cofounder alternatives FAQ

What is the best Cofounder alternative if I don’t have a product yet?

One that builds the product, since Cofounder’s docs say it isn’t your core product builder. DoAny builds and hosts a web app with accounts, a database and checkout, keeps working on the company, and starts free. Atoms and Runable (Pro $20 a month each) also build apps and market them. Polsia (Standard $20 a month) builds and runs the company but takes 3% of every charge. To keep Cofounder and add only the product, Lovable Pro is $25 a month.

Is there a free alternative to Cofounder?

Cofounder has a 7-day free trial but no free plan; Pro is $120 a month. DoAny Free is $0 with no card, 5 credits a day up to 30 a month, and it can go live and take real card payments once you finish Stripe’s verification. Atoms and Lovable also have $0 plans, though Lovable’s built-in payments need Pro, and Runable’s Free plan doesn’t include website or app building. NanoCorp offers a 3-day trial.

Which Cofounder alternatives take a cut of my sales?

Polsia takes a 3% platform fee on every charge, and NanoCorp takes 20% of what you withdraw. DoAny takes 0% on every plan, Free included, and Atoms and Lovable list no platform fee; Stripe’s processing fees still apply on all of them. Cofounder lists no fee on your sales. Runable doesn’t publish whether it takes one. Prices checked September 27, 2026.

Can I use Lovable and Cofounder together?

Yes, and Cofounder’s docs point that way: your product stays with “your preferred coding agent, IDE, or engineering team,” and Cofounder runs the work around it. At list price that is $120 a month for Cofounder Pro plus $25 for Lovable Pro, $145 a month in all, before any usage either bills beyond its plan. DoAny covers both jobs from $0, or $25 a month on Pro.

How do I move off Cofounder?

Collect the code first: a product in your own repository is already yours; an admin can invite your GitHub account to the repositories Cofounder manages. Download Library files and ask how to export data from the managed Supabase project, which users aren’t invited into yet. Give written notice 7 days before your term ends; paid time isn’t refunded, and you get 30 days to export after it ends. DoAny imports existing code and database records, so you don’t start over.

No product yet? Build it before you pay for agents

Cofounder leaves the product to you; DoAny builds and hosts it, then keeps working on the company. Start free with 5 credits a day and no card, test checkout with Stripe test cards, then go live and take real payments on the same Free plan. Not sure yet? Read DoAny vs Cofounder first.
